  • Misunderstanding Calvin's Legacy

    I was disappointed to discover the linked article (link) in which the “Reformed leader” (so called in the article) identified wheat he saw as three important aspects of Calvin’s legacy: 1. Ecumenism 2. Social Justice 3. The Environment Now, I should point out that the “Reformed leader” did recognize that (for example), John Calvin could…

  • Roman Catholic Archbishop on Christ's Death

    Archbishop of Freiburg, Robert Zollitsch, chairman of the Catholic bishops’ conference of Germany stated that Christ “did not die for the sins of the people as if God had provided a sacrificial offering, like a scapegoat.” (source) Now, I realize that conservative Roman Catholics may not agree with this statement (I’d be shocked if they…
